Running Man's 'Self-Exposure Battle': Choi Daniel and Yang Se-hyung's 'Dating Confession' Shenanigans Leave Viewers Fooled

A chaotic 'self-exposure battle' filled with lies and truths unfolded on SBS's 'Running Man,' leaving viewers in stitches. The episode, which aired on the 19th, featured a treasure hunt for gold bars, and was made even more special with the return of Jeon So-min, who joined as a guest alongside Yang Se-hyung.

The highlight of the broadcast was undoubtedly the 'dating confession' controversy. It began when Yang Se-hyung playfully accused Haha of being seen with another woman. This led to a series of revelations, with Choi Daniel suddenly confessing, 'I am actually dating someone.' He claimed to have a girlfriend named Carolena, based in San Francisco, around her mid-thirties. However, the fabricated details and a hastily drawn portrait that bore a resemblance to Choi Yang-rak ultimately exposed his lie, much to the amusement of Haha and Yoo Jae-suk.

The 'dating' drama didn't end there. Yang Se-hyung then declared he had been dating someone for two years, an choreographer from a dance team whose name starts with 'Y.' This piqued the members' curiosity, but his younger brother, Yang Se-chan, quickly revealed the truth by humorously stating, 'I can see the YG building from his house,' thus exposing Yang Se-hyung's fib. Yang Se-hyung continued to bombard Haha with playful accusations about his appearance fee and wishing Seok-jin would leave the show, turning the set into a laughter-filled space.

Netizens reacted with amusement, commenting, 'I almost fell for the dating confession,' 'Choi Daniel and Yang Se-hyung's acting was so convincing,' and 'Running Man is always unpredictable and fun.'
